Barnstar(s) for you

I wanted to congratulate you for your contributions. I thought you deserve recognition but then realized it would actually be two areas:

		The Barnstar of Recovery
		For: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Alexis Texas (2nd nomination) Otr500 (talk) 10:40, 25 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

		The Citation Barnstar

A lengthy welcome

HI Right cite. We're having difficulty communicating, so I thought I share with you the welcome message that I provide to new editors when I see them treading into some of the more difficult areas of Wikipedia:

Welcome to Wikipedia. I hope you don't mind if I share some of my thoughts on starting out as a new editor on Wikipedia: If I could get editors in your situation to follow just one piece of advice, it would be this: Learn Wikipedia by working only on non-contentious topics until you have a feel for the normal editing process and the policies that usually come up when editing casually. You'll find editing to be fun, easy, and rewarding. The rare disputes are resolved quickly and easily in collaboration.
Working on biographical information about living persons is far more difficult. Wikipedia's Biographies of living persons policy requires strict adherence to multiple content policies, and applies to all information about living persons including talk pages.
If you have a relationship with the topics you want to edit, then you will need to review Wikipedia's Conflict of interest policy, which may require you to disclose your relationship and restrict your editing depending upon how you are affiliated with the subject matter. Regardless, editing in a manner that promotes an entity or viewpoint over others can appear to be detrimental to the purpose of Wikipedia and the neutrality required in articles.
Some topic areas within Wikipedia have special editing restrictions that apply to all editors. It's best to avoid these topics until you are extremely familiar with all relevant policies and guidelines.
If you work from reliable, independent sources, you shouldn't go far wrong. WP:RSP and WP:RSN are helpful in determining if a source is reliable.
I hope you find some useful information in all this, and welcome again.

Maybe this context will help you understand my concerns better. Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines and Wikipedia:Dispute resolution might be helpful as well.

Thanks for reading this. --Hipal/Ronz (talk) 17:16, 26 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
